B. SALT Reports
In addition to survey data reported in Information Works, the SALT Surveys and the SALT visit report provides an "on the ground" description of what a group of visiting evaluators found while visiting the school for several days. After learning more about the SALT cycle from the link above, review the most recent report for your school and summarize what you find:
Data of last SALT visit: January 12, 2001
Notes from Report:
1570 students: attendance rate of 90.3%
Some students achieve their optimal potential in learning, but most are complacent passive learners who are not learning to their full potential.
Most students write frequently and competently, but write less effectively on projects that involve more complex writing skills.
Students read in many different genres and formats, but seem to only read for the basic understanding of the work and do not read critically or analyze things.
Special Education needs work; insufficient personnel and too much reliance on self-contained classes.
When creating IEP's (Individual Education Plans) the school does not consistently conform to federal and state regulations or subscribe to best
practice. This results in students not being placed in the least restrictive environment and negatively impacts their social, emotional, and intellectual growth.
Time not being used well; the schedule does not give enough time for learning and time is lost due to teacher and student travel between the two buildings and frequent interruptions during class time (phone and announcements over the intercom).
